Purpose: To report an association between central serous chorioretinopathy (CSCR) and exogenous testosterone therapy.
Methods: This is a retrospective case series from two institutions. Patients who presented with fluorescein angiography and optical coherence tomography findings consistent with CSCR were included. All patients were concurrently being treated with exogenous testosterone therapy and lacked other known risk factors for CSCR.
Results: Nine patients presented with CSCR after beginning exogenous testosterone therapy. Two patients stopped therapy with resolution of symptoms and subretinal fluid.
Conclusion: Exogenous testosterone may be an independent risk factor for the development of CSCR.

Testosterone Replacement Therapy Is Associated With Increased Incidence Rate of Vertebral Fractures: A Matched Retrospective Analysis.
J Am Acad Orthop Surg Glob Res Rev
January 2025
From the Warren Alpert Medical School, Brown University, Providence, RI (Singh and Daher), and the Department of Orthopedics, Brown University, Providence, RI (Dr. Diebo, Dr. Daniels, and Dr. Arcand).
Background: Whether testosterone replacement therapy (TRT) can mitigate the risk of vertebral fractures has not been well-studied.
Methods: PearlDiver was queried to identify patients with and without the history of TRT. Groups were matched 1:1 by demographic variables and 2-year vertebral fracture incidence rate was compared.
Testosterone Effects on Short-Term Physical, Hormonal, and Neurodevelopmental Outcomes in Infants with 47,XXY/Klinefelter Syndrome: The TESTO Randomized Controlled Trial.

Department of Pediatrics, Section of Endocrinology, University of Colorado SOM, Aurora, Colorado, USA.
Context: 47,XXY/Klinefelter syndrome (XXY) is associated with impaired testicular function and differences in physical growth, metabolism, and neurodevelopment. Clinical features of XXY may be attributable to inadequate testosterone during the mini-puberty period of infancy.
Objective: We tested the hypothesis that exogenous testosterone treatment positively effects short-term physical, hormonal, and neurodevelopmental outcomes in infants with XXY.

Background: Transgender and gender diverse (TGD) people embody social and health inequalities that disproportionately affect this community more than the cisgender population. Endometriosis is a chronic condition of the reproductive tract that affects 5-10% of cisgender women. A recent systematic review with meta-analysis uncovered a pooled prevalence of 25.

Article Synopsis
- Testosterone replacement therapy (TRT) usage has significantly increased in the U.S., but there is limited information on its link to ligament injuries, particularly ACL injuries.
- This study aimed to determine the relationship between TRT and the occurrence of ACL injuries, along with the risk of ACL reconstruction failure, hypothesizing that TRT users would face higher risks for these injuries.
- Results showed that TRT patients had a greater likelihood of sustaining ACL tears within the first two years, but there was no significant difference in ACL reconstruction failure rates between TRT users and non-users over a five-year period.
Age-related testosterone decline: mechanisms and intervention strategies.
Reprod Biol Endocrinol

Contemporary societies exhibit delayed reproductive age and increased life expectancy. While the male reproductive system demonstrates relatively delayed aging compared to that of females, increasing age substantially impacts its function. A characteristic manifestation is age-induced testosterone decline.
